46/1864) Home: Gno More Gnomes a collaboration between Brewski of Sweden and Evil Twin Brewing: **1/2; brewed in Sweden; while the Evil Twin head office is in Brooklyn, e-mails go to Denmark addresses; 10%; dark, chestnut brown; an American style barley wine brewed with figs; nose is dark fruit with warming alcohol; dark fruit, caramel, mild spice flavours with warming alcohol at the finish; a perfect slow sipper for a cold day; at one point I thought the Estonian beer was the "star" of the Advent calendar but now I'm wavering;

I picked Sweden out of turn to mark NHL All-Star weekend and meeting the great Borje Salming at the Hockey Hall of Fame a week ago;

47/1865) Home: Préaris Quadrocinno by Vliegende Paard Brouwers of Belgium: **; "coffee infused"; the original label reads 8.5% but a label slapped on by the LCBO reads 9.5%; coffee is only subtly present in nose and coffee notes are subdued until the finish;
